You would save at least 450k a week in wages for a start.  Enough to pay the wages of three RVP's!

Dinny/O'Neill, thought i'd take it over here.

Culching at straws - don't think so. Two games don't make Koscienly a success, sure Downing was MOTM V Sunderland. Kosciencly has largely struggled badly to date - so he improved in the last few games and suddenly he is a success. While Henderson and Downing haven't struggled but have yet to justify their fee and they are doomed to failure.

I'm sure that a a majority of Arsenal fans are happy with stats, MOTM awards, international caps, profit on transfers etc to judge a season and team but the main area i look at it is the end of season positions. When Arsenal have spent big to compliment their so called golden generation from the youth ranks I would expect that the money would result in trophies - in the last 5/6 years Arsenal are drifting further away from the top spot, no trophies, plenty of question marks. If Arsenal had spent wisely they wouldn't be in that position.

Liverpool have spent very well in comparison - Suarez, Adam, Enrqiue, Reina. Of course we've had some bad buys. But the 3 you single out far from bad buys at this stage.

You are way off the mark on Koscielny.  He has been outstanding all season and earned a call up and start for France in the last Euro qualifying game.  I doubt you have watched every one of his performances this season before reaching your conclusion.

Henderson, Carroll, Downing....all vastly overpriced, Kenny just throwing enough of mud and hoping some of it sticks....a real scattergun approach that has reaped success (suarez, adam, enrique) and failure.  The 100 plus million could have been far better spent.

5 away league wins all season....the writing really was on the wall.  One of Ferguson's worst teams and certainly his most negative.  Midfield needs a complete revamp......humiliating.

What another atrocious performance from United. 

Talk about a performance that was coming this season.  You can't fool all of the people all of the time.

We offered nothing going forward.  Take away Vidic and we are average.

Flip me, Carrick makes Lucas look like Andrea Pirlo.  Is the ink dry on his new contract?

Rooney on 150k a week?  He's played well twice since last April.

It's a pity that fading stars (great as they were) Giggs and Scholes are still being asked to carry the can....

This United team needs a complete revamp from midfield on.....over to you Fergie.

Is this United team as bleak a team as Ferguson has built?

Are they as boring and grinding as Jose's Chelsea?

Imagine dropping your top scorer for the big games?

Talk about anti-football!

Would Barca drop Messi, Real drop Ronaldo or Inter drop Milito?

For football's sake I hope they don't win the league!

Birmingham and Blackburn drop a striker and go 4-5-1 when playing big teams, Man Utd shouldn't.

Yep, sitting pretty at the top of the league.  Scored more than anyone else, conceded fewer than anyone else.  Cruised through to the knockout stages of the Champions League.  Bleak times indeed  :D

I think they are a very effective and solid team.  They are experienced and the team is full of winners, they are very well equipped to win the league and will probably will do. 

But United have a tradition to uphold.  They used to win things with style and panache by playing attacking football. 

Darron Gibson, Carrick, Fletcher etc hardly get the crowd of their seats.

I think United fans would agree this is the least exciting team in 15 years.
